It sounds like the trans cooling line is leaking. It goes to the radiator. That doesn't sound like the problem. If you have white smoke from the exhaust, that usually indicates there is coolant getting into the combustion chamber. If I had to guess, I would say you have a head gasket leaking. You could perform a compression test to see if one of the cylenders is low on compression.

Let me know if you have other questions.
